I can sympathize while I’m not in the restaurant biz I work in a special Ed class so performance is in high demand

there are resources for me but there are powers high up in government that tighten thumb screws on us .

"Great job, Eddie!

Our paths have crossed a few times while enjoying a great burger at Edzo’s.

As the Chef/owner of my own restaurant for three decades and working around the US and Europe before that I understand the culture you’re describing.

This past year I have had the time to dedicate to creating a relapse prevention treatment modality that is being tested inside behavioral health center now.

I am passionate about helping and giving back to our people.

How may I best be of service?

Regards..."

amazing, right? the helpers responding to cries for help. I'm exchanging emails with this reader about a workplace mental health wellness program he's working on and trying to get funding for. it sounds like something that would be amazing to begin the hard work of chipping away at the pervasively abusive restaurant workplace culture. I'll keep you all posted when I learn more.
